Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Switch Review – Ugly As Sith
switch version liberated power It has motion controls as it is based on the Nintendo Wii version of the game. just like last time The House of the Dead: Remake, Joy-Cons fight to get to the Wiimote’s capabilities. As a result, using movement controls for things like Force power is too difficult, especially when enemies are running everywhere and the Starkiller is trying to dodge the blaster fire. Fortunately, the default control scheme is available and works much better.
Another aspect of the Nintendo Wii version that made it to the Switchport is the graphics. Wii version liberated power It wasn’t good in 2008 and the graphics weren’t great either. But there’s been a brave attempt at making sure the game doesn’t look too gross on HD displays. The character models, stages, skyboxes, and even some weapon effects look really bad, and it’s odd that the Wii version was chosen for the latest port and not the PC version.
one thing liberated power It works surprisingly well and feels like playing a Sith Warrior. It feels good to cut Stormtroopers and fry them with Force Lightning. It’s a pity that one-on-one combat isn’t all that much fun, thanks to the erratic fixed camera that often obscures the view of larger enemies and the general smoothness of Starkiller’s movement that makes it difficult to focus. Lightsaber to enemies. it doesn’t help liberated power are on the same platform as Jedi Academy And his amazing lightsaber battles. The stage would have been improved with some platforms or puzzle sections as the battle system would get tired of receiving from the endless shelling of enemies. Some of the enemies in the later stages also take an annoying amount of damage that eliminates the use of lightsabers in the game.
liberated power The main campaign only lasts about 5-6 hours and ends quickly. You can find collectibles, but many of them are hidden in fragile objects throughout the stage, so there isn’t much to explore in the level. There is a two-player multiplayer mode where you can choose from different characters. liberated power There is some playability as a fighting game, but lightsaber combat is too easy to support longer game durations.
original version of liberated power A lot happened because the volume was small when it was first released. star war A game that offered players the opportunity to play the Sith in a standard storyline that parallels the movie. liberated power In particular, when Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order I did a lot of the same thing, but I did it better. liberated power It offers short rides across distant galaxies, and there are moments where the player feels like a great Sith warrior, but fails to maintain that feeling as wielding his lightsaber soon becomes a nuisance.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Switch Review – Ugly As Sith
The Switch version of The Force Unleashed is based on the Nintendo Wii version of the game, which means that it features motion controls. Like with the recent The House of the Dead: Remake, the Joy-Cons struggle to match the functions of the Wiimote. As such, it’s a little too difficult to use the motion controls for things like Force powers, especially when enemies are running all over the place and Starkiller is trying to avoid blaster fire. Luckily, the standard control scheme can be used, which works a lot better.
The other aspect of the Nintendo Wii version that has been brought over to the Switch port is the visuals. The Wii version of The Force Unleashed didn’t look great in 2008 and time has not been kind to its visuals, even if a valiant attempt was made to ensure that the game doesn’t look too rough on an HD display. The character models, stages, skyboxes, and even some of the weapon effects look really bad, and it’s odd that the Wii version was chosen for a modern port, rather than the PC version.
One thing The Force Unleashed does amazingly well is providing the feeling of playing a Sith warrior. Cutting through Stormtroopers and frying them with Force Lightning feels awesome. It’s just a shame that the one versus one battles aren’t quite as much fun, thanks to a dodgy lock-on camera that often hinders the view of bigger enemies and the general slipperiness of Starkiller’s movements that make it hard to focus the lightsaber on one enemy. It doesn’t help that The Force Unleashed is on the same platform as Jedi Academy and its amazing lightsaber combat. The stages would have been improved by some platforming or puzzle sections, as the endless barrage of foes quickly cause the combat system to wear out its welcome. Some of the foes in the later stages also take an annoying amount of hits to put down, which takes something away from using a lightsaber in a game.
The Force Unleashed is also over quickly, with the main campaign only lasting for around 5-6 hours. There are collectibles to find, but many of them are hidden within breakable objects in the stages, so there isn’t much exploration to be had in the levels. There is a two-player multiplayer mode with a wide selection of characters, which does give The Force Unleashed some replayability as a fighting game, but the lightsaber combat is a bit too basic to support extended periods of play.
The original version of The Force Unleashed had a lot going for it when it was first released, as there were few Star Wars games that offered the player the chance to play a Sith in a canon storyline that happens alongside the movies. The Force Unleashed is now showing its age, especially in an era when Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has done many of the same things, but better. The Force Unleashed offers a short ride through a galaxy far, far away, and it does have some moments of making the player feel like an awesome Sith warrior, but it doesn’t manage to sustain this feeling, with its lightsaber swinging soon becoming like a chore.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available today, April 20, 2022, on Nintendo Switch. Screen Rant was provided with a code for the purposes of this review.
